Had a nice walk to and from the Aspen Center for Physics this evening. The Center held a welcome reception for people participating in the conference this week. I ran into old friends and colleagues from my long years in collider physics, and it was great to catch up and do some reconnecting tonight.

Looking at you, @peteronyisi !

Vibing with the Agent Control Protocol

Although most of my actual work happens inside a terminal, I have been wanting an easy way to talk to the newfangled crop of AI agents from my iPhone.(...)

ACP Registry debuts in Zed Editor with built-in IDE support

Zed Editor introduces the ACP Registry, providing instant agent registration and updates across ACP-compatible clients. Built-in support extends to JetBrains IDEs.

Yep, https://github.com/rcarmo/vibes is finally usable. Loads of fun hacking at #ACP, although near the end I took a look at #toad's code and the typing was better. But this is immediately useful with any ACP-compliant coding agent:

#JetBrains#ACP の動きに乗っかっているのか。

Agent と Client(IDE とかコードエディター)の間のやり取りを標準化するっていうこの動きがあるということは、逆に言えば VSCode の Copilot とか使ってるときはそれは VSCode にロックインされた体験だったってことだな。
まあ言われればそりゃそうかという感じだけど、たしかにエディターを選択するうえでそこが標準化できると乗り換えも簡単になるしユーザーにとって選択肢が増えるよい未来に向かっていけそう

@reach_vb @mysticaltech @reach_vb -- if you get a chance take a look at the quickstarts i just did for Toad. I think you'll like the ACP/MCP Experts....
